AlliedCook construction manager for 15,760 s/f replacement facility

AlliedCook Construction, one of northern New England's premier construction management firms, has been selected as construction manager for Casa's New ICF/IID Replacement Facility. The new Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) will be constructed adjacent to the existing facility located at 148 Gorham Rd. The 15,760 s/f, one-story, wood-framed building will provide private and semi-private rooms totaling 16 beds for children and adults with developmental disabilities and medical needs. The facility will also include a central nurses' station, a treatment room, a therapy P.T. gym, and a therapy pool. The building also features a lobby with waiting and reception area, living rooms, and dining room, as well as a commercial kitchen and pantry, clean and soiled laundry rooms, a delivery area, medical supply rooms and storage areas, conference room, staff room, and administrative offices. Designed by Gawron Turgeon Architects of Scarborough, the facility will be divided into two distinct "neighborhoods" within the building to accommodate the development and age differences between the residents. The project is expected to be completed by April 2014.
